Enclose the root system in a plastic bag and seal it at the base

of the plant stem to prevent soil spillage. Then enclose the

entire plant in another plastic bag and seal.

Please label each sample with a name you can identify them

by.

Fill out and include the Sample Submission Form below.

For additional information regarding collecting and

submitting plant, please contact us.

Samples submitted may be individual samples or compound

samples.

If submitting compound samples collect tissue material from

various locations throughout the area of interest.

Do not collect leaves/tissue samples that are dead,

damaged by insects or mechanically injured.

Submit a sufficient amount of material for testing.

A single plant sample may not be enough to allow a correct

diagnosis of the problem.

If possible, select samples with various stages of disease

development (early and late stages).

When the entire plant cannot be shipped, or submitted,

collect the largest plant sample possible, or portions of each

major plant organ (roots, stems, leaves, flowers).

For leaf/fruit diseases, submit leaves/fruits showing various

stages of infection.

For lawn and turf diseases, submit a 3-4” diameter plug that

is 2-3” in depth taken where the healthy and diseased areas

meet. Include roots and the adhering soil.

Branch specimens (8–12” long) should include the diseased

area and part of the healthy area.

Please submit 50-100 seeds per sample.

Seeds can be submitted in Ziploc bags or coil envelops.

Please label each sample with a name you can identify them

by.

Soil samples can be sent in sandwich sized

Ziploc bags (approximately 500 g of soil

is required). If multiple samples are

submitted, please seat with tape in order to

prevent mixing of samples during shipping.

Water samples may be sent in water bottles

or similar containers (100-150 mL).

Please seal the tops in order to reduce the

likelihood of leaks.

If a general test of an area is requested,

you may collect samples from various

locations and submit a single sample.

This will yield results for the area collected.

If specific locations are to be tested,

individual samples will be needed.

Soil Samples: Collect samples roughly

4-6” deep
